Customer Reviews:

Good all-around Attila. Ramey and Zancanaro stand out!.......2003-05-09

Of all the Basses who recorded the role in studio, Ramey is the best. He is heard in his prime here, sings securely and has the right regal and grand tone for the role (Ghiaurov live was also thrilling but record companies overlooked him). Don't miss the opportunity to get Ramey's exciting video performances of Attila as well.

Zancanaro is a great Italian baritone and his Ezio is a big plus in this recording. If only there were more baritones like him around today... I've read wonderful things about both Shicoff and Studer but to be honest I expected more. Dramatically they can be moving (especially Studer) but vocally they rarely excite. He has nothing of Bergonzi's style (musicianship is a rare gift) while Studer's high notes sound strained (I also tend to prefer a darker voice like Sass' or Guleghina's in this role)

Despite my reservations about Studer and Shicoff, this is the best studio Attila recording. Muti conducts after all well and allows his singers to do their best. No Verdi collection should be without an Attila recording and with Ramey in the title role this set is warmly recommended.
